The purpose of this study was to determine the content attributes and sensory characteristics of ice cream flavored with lotus leaf and seeds (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertner). Analysis of freeze dried lotus leaf powder produced the following technical results: Freeze dried lotus leaf powder contained moisture 12.2, crude protein 5.9, crude fat 1.2, crude ash 7.0, crude fiber 13.4g/100mg; raw lotus seed powder contained moisture 65.0, crude protein 8.2, crude fat 0.3, crude ash 1.0, crude fiber 10.8g/100mg; freeze dried lotus seed powder contained moisture 14.0, crude protein 17.1, crude fat 1.9, crude ash 4.0, crude fiber 2.8g/100mg. Lotus seed was processed by 4 methods: freeze dried, roasted, freeze dried peeled inner layer, cooked cut peeled inner layer. Analysis of the color value produced the following technical results: freeze dried lotus leaf powder were L(lightness) 14.5, a(redness) 4.4, b(yellowness) 24.0; freeze dried lotus seed powder L 57.3, a 14.4, b 12.0; roasted lotus seed powder L 52.7, a 22.5, b 11.9; freeze dried lotus seed peeled inner layer L 60.0, a 1.4, b 12.3. Proportional lotus ingredients used for ice cream were 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, 10% for lotus leaves and 1%, 3%, 5% for lotus seeds. The maximum over run ratio for lotus leaf ice cream was 45.3~56.9% at 20~25 minutes operating time. Over run was significantly decreased by increasing the contents of lotus leaf powder. A maximum over run ratio for lotus seed ice cream was 46.1~54.3% at 20~25 operating time. Over run was not significantly different based on content of lotus leaf versus lotus seed. Sensory evaluation of lotus leaf ice cream produced the following results: the highest score was for color of 4.42 and the lowest score was for sweetness of 3.30. The total mean score significantly decreased by increasing the content of lotus leaf powder. Sensory evaluation of lotus seed ice cream produced the following results: the highest score was for cooked cut peeled inner layer type and the lowest was for freeze dried type 3.86. The sensory scores were not significantly different based on the content of lotus seed. Texture was evaluated highest with a rating of 4.21 and the taste was evaluated lowest with a rating of 3.68 For whole evaluation. This study concluded that lotus leaf ice cream demonstrates relative strength in terms of color and taste, and a relative weakness in terms of over run and sweetness. Suitable content of lotus leaf ranged from 1~5%. The lotus seed processed by the cooked cut peeled inner layer method received a higher rating than dried powder for lotus seed ice cream.

전남도내에서 자생하고 있는 무안의 백련과 나주의 홍련을 대상으로 부위별 이화학적 성분을 분석한 결과 품종별로 큰 차이는 발견할 수 없었으며 두 품종 모두 무기영양성분 중 세포 내 액의 산${\cdot}$알칼리평형에 가장 중요한 mineral인 potassium이 월등히 높은 함량을 보였고 다음으로 sodium, calcium, magnesium이 주요 무기영양성분으로 나타났다. 특이한 것은 뿌리에서의 철분 함유량이 무안의 백련에서 14.70mg%, 나주 홍련에서 9.26mg%로 다른 농산물에 비해 높게 나타나 철 결핍성 빈혈환자나 임신, 출산 등으로 철분의 균형을 잃게 될 수 있는 여성에게 연근이 좋은 영양식이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 유리당 함유량은 부위별로 큰 차이를 보여 뿌리의 경우 sucrose가 월등히 많은 반면 잎의 경우는 glucose와 fructose가 대부분을 차지하였고 종자의 경우 sucrose, raffinose 및 stachyose가 대부분을 차지하는 것으로 나타났는데 종자의 경우 oligosaccharide를 이용한 기능성 식품으로의 개발 가능성도 있다고 판단된다. 구성아미노산 함유량 또한 부위별로 큰 차이를 보여 종자와 잎에서는 glutamic acid가 가장 많이 함유되어 있는 반면 연근의 경우 간 기능 회복과 숙취제거에 효과가 있는 aspartic acid가 월등히 높은 함유량을 보여 각각 이를 이용한 기능성 식품으로의 이용 가능성도 있을 것으로 사료된다.
